We saw the article on Charles N’Zogbia when he zoomed up to 3rd place in the Actim index. So we’ve been looking at the index and we do know that Sam is very keen on the index to gage players performances.

So we’re going to take a lot more notice of this index from now on â€“ and of course are only interested in Newcastle United players.

We think it’s very interesting to see where players position in the index.

Charles N’Zogbia – third most effective player in Premiership to date according to Actim ratings

First of all here’s what the Actim Index is â€“ directly from their site. Actim Stats are a collection of team, player and match statistics.

They are derived from all the actions that take place during a match, including goals, shots on target, corners, fouls, offsides, passes, tackles, blocks and clearances. The raw data can be used to generate a wide range of tables and statistics such as player profiles, team and player head-to-heads and form guides. PA Sport gathers match data for every Barclays English Premier League, Coca-Cola Championship and Scottish Premier League game. The data is gathered by two methods – real-time match analysis and the study of video footage. The real-time analysis is conducted by ex-professional footballers that report on action at the grounds as it happens. Further, more detailed analysis is obtained by studying videos of the matches.

Here are the tables that Actim Index keeps for the English Premier League and these are the latest as of 25th September, 2007.

Lamsley Mag – yes we never though about that in putting the article together. I had problems with the HTML – but learning all the time. If Zog was classed as defender – he’d be number 1 beating Ferdiannd by 22 points – maybe that would make the full French team selectors take note – what a player he’s been for us this season – hope it lasts all season We agree about Barton – that’s why Sam was so keen on Joey.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
